A Teen Allegedly Recorded Videos Up Girls' Skirts at School

After a restaurant employee in Waukesha, Wisconsin discovered two hidden cameras in the employee bathroom, which another employee had allegedly been using to secretly record people, police say they uncovered voyeuristic videos recorded at the local high school

Waukesha police said in a news release on Thursday, August 2, that Culver's employee, 18-year-old Scott Schwantes, had allegedly put cameras in the restaurant's employee bathroom. Managers fired Schwantes and immediately contacted local authorities, according to the release. After a search, police say they found a hidden camera in Schwantes's backpack, which not only included recordings of Culver's employees using the bathroom, but footage looking up girls' skirts at Waukesha West High School.

According to the release, Schwantes would place the backpack in the path of female students forcing them to walk over it, and capturing images up their skirts and dresses in the process. Any female students who attended Waukesha West High School in the spring of 2017 and who may have had lunch of class with Schwantes and wore dresses or skirts, are asked to contact Detective Mike Carpenter at 262-524-3923.

"He [Schwantes] admitted to downloading and searching child porn, capturing images in the past years of girls at the school, cameras videotaping up their skirts," said prosecutor Michele Hulgaard FOX 6 reports.

According to FOX 6, Schwantes has been charged with one count of capturing an intimate representation and three counts of capturing an intimate representation of minor. The counts involving minors carry a maximum sentence of six years, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The school district says they are cooperating with the police investigation.
